There is as much lighting in there as I know how to do without blowing out the photo.
I'm not sure if you noticed, but it's racked back to allow a light source in from the back of the barrel. It's also a layered photo with one 8 second exposure in there.

I like three the most too. I like the view down the barrel with the rifling and all. A fiber optic probe inserted through the magazine well and angled into the breech would have made the shot look super-awesome, for only maybe $1,500 for the fiber optics head and a rental pack to power it! (I saw a pro shot done that way some years ago.)

I wonder if you could wrap some aluminum foil around the top of a speedlight, and make a sort of candy-cane like, bent thing-a-ma-jiggie that would take the light popping out of a speedlight and send light right into the breech area,and then have it run all the way down the barrel. Maybe come up through the magazine well, or maybe just out of sight back on the slide/grip area? Regardless, what a fine-looking S&W that is. I enjoy handgunning,and used to really be into it.

Great idea with the foil. What if you got a clear hot glue stick and wrapped it in foil then inserted it up through the clip and into the chamber. That would surely rock the shot!

Only $1,500

That's a great idea, I didn't even think about putting any lighting through the magazine. I did have something in the mag which was supporting the gun, but I would imagine it would be pretty easy to shape a channel out of aluminum foil...

Thanks, it the Military and Police edition .40. Almost no recoil, pretty damn accurate, but no safety.
